Today, anti-humanism is a dominant, even definitive, feature of
contemporary theory. Setting out to challenge this tendency,
editors David Alderson and Kevin Anderson argue that the political
moment demands a reappraisal of the humanist tradition. Humanism,
in all its diversity and complexity, may facilitate the renewal of
progressive theory through the championing of human subjectivity,
agency and freedom. Across four extended essays, David Alderson,
Kevin Anderson, Barbara Epstein and Robert Spencer engage
critically with the Marxist tradition, recent developments in
poststructuralism, postcolonialism and queer theory. Incorporating
an overview of the historical context that resulted in socialist
humanism’s eclipse in the 1950s and '60s, and a strident critique
of anti-humanism, For Humanism offers a coherent and compelling
argument for the rehabilitation of a much maligned tradition.
